I haven't used it myself and I can't try right now, but I guess "chroot"
is what you want. You go through the configure/make as if you'd want to
install locally, but when it comes to the actual installation step, you
change to a chrooted environment so that your installation files go into a
clean tree. You may need to create your chrooted /bin/install and possibly
some others first for the installation script to run. But I guess this can
be automated easily so it'll be easy to reproduce next time.
